TAMPA, Fla. — The Buccaneers have just added a new weapon to the team's already formidable running game.
The team announced on Wednesday that they've signed veteran running back Giovani Bernard. He'll be making the move to the Tampa Bay area after spending eight seasons with the Cincinnati Bengals.
Since 2013, Bernard has earned 3,697 rushing yards and 22 touchdowns, along with 342 receptions for 2,867 yards.
A native of South Florida, born in Davie, Bernard played college ball at North Carolina before making the move to the pros.
